Dana 70 Ford Axle Disc Brake Conversion Kit

Dana 70 Ford Axle Disc Brake Conversion Kit

Our disc brake conversion kits are the best conversion to eliminate drum brakes, in many cases it is less expensive to switch to disc brakes than to rebuild drum brakes. Changing from drum brakes to disc brakes is easy, and all the parts you need to complete the conversion and get rid of those heavy drum brakes are included in this kit. In the end you will have an axle that stops better, is easier to maintain, and weighs a lot less.

Our bracket included in this kit for the Ford Dana 70 & Dana 70U SRW actually fits! We developed these after the success of our 14 Bolt brackets and seeing what was available on the market and the problems associated with the others. The Dana 70 was used by all of the Big 3 automakers at one time or another and they all had different uses and designs specifically for them. These are for a Ford Dana 70 SRW or Dana 70U SRW only!

Important

• Requires single steel wheel 15" with a maximum 4" back spacing or larger for aluminum wheels. These are not for dual rear wheels, they are made for single rear wheel axles.
• Does not work on van axles. The frames are wider which place the springs further out on the tubes blocking the ability to bolt up the caliper

Complete Kit Includes:

• 1 Pair Dana 70 Ford Axle Disc Brake Brackets
• 2 Weld on Brake Line Tabs
• 2 Brake Line Clips
• 2 Brake Calipers
• 2 Hydraulic Hoses with Banjo Bolt Fittings (Your hard line requires a 3/8-24" inverted flare fitting for these hoses to bolt to)
• Standard Calipers come with 10mm Banjo Bolts. El Dorado Calipers come with 7/16" Banjo Bolts
  
• 4 New Brake Pads
• 2 New Rotors

Note

• If longer studs are needed, usually dually studs are long enough. Double check stud diameter, studs should drop freely into the rotor. DO NOT press studs into the rotor. If your hub has too large of studs you will need to drill the rotors to accept them. Be sure to have minimum 5/8" lug nut thread engagement once wheel is installed
• Rotor installs onto the backside of the hub! Some models require the hubs to be machined open by ~3/16" for the rotors to fit
• Don't forget to re-bleed your brakes once you've installed your new conversion kit.
• An adjustable proportioning valve is recommended, this will allow you to fine tune your front/rear stopping power bias. Your front axle should always do about 70% of the work.
• If your vehicle has a residual valve (can be located within the master cylinder or externally) you will want to remove it. Not doing so can cause your rear brakes to drag or lock up
• This kit is only for the Ford D70 & D70U SRW rear axle. Will not work with a dual rear wheel axle
• The bracket mounts with the bend towards the diff, away from the rotor
• R1115-01 is the passenger side bracket, R1115-02 is the driver side
